Hey guys!
Wow, I'm surprised to see there's such a huge FZ6 enthusiast forum. I'm definitely glad it's here, as just browsing through threads has already answered some of my newbie questions!
Anyways, I know this probably all belongs in the intro forum, but let me introduce myself.
My name is Ross Williams. I'm 20 years old, and I live in Los Banos, CA during the summer and in San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly engineering student) for the rest of the year. I've just recently came back from the mazda raceway laguna seca MotoGP race with an urge to pick up and start riding a bike!
Yamaha, honda, suzuki, kawi, and ducati was all at laguna seca this past weekend. I sat on several bikes for the kicks of it, and when my butt planted itself on the FZ6... I was a fan! :thumbup: I always wanted the R6, never even knew what the FZ6 was! At first sit down, I liked the sitting style and the (too me) almost dirtbike like feeling handlebars.
That was a 2009 model... I dont quite have the money for a new one, so I went to craigslist.
After searching around, I found one that I thought looked great and in my price range. Its a 2005 for $3900 and it looks super clean! It has 7900 miles on it (I don't know if this is a lot) but according to the owner, her ex-husband babied it (she's selling because of a divorce with her ex-husband. Her Ex owed her money, and just gave her the bike instead, and she has no interest in motorcycles.).
Here's a pic, let me know what you guys think...
I kind of like the speed/analog rpm meter electronics on the 2007 and newer FZ6's, but I know with a budget I can't get too picky. Which do you guys prefer?
Thanks for any help, recommendations, etc
